nottswarwick Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_115mbe_2004.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_115mbe_2004.htm[/url] one of these. I really like my GK MB200, and to be honest for most gigs it is enough as I have PA support always. I actually kind of prefer it to my EBS HD350. So I am pondering about getting this matching cab. Anyone used one? 4 ohms, so gets the full 200W. Thoughts? Chris Quote
ThomBassmonkey Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 That's one of the few GK bits I actually haven't used. From what people have said on here about the other cabs in the MBE range and what I know, I doubt you'd be disappointed and you'd have a brilliant rig that weighs nothing. If you do take the plunge, I'd be interested to know how you get on with it. I can't see any reason that it wouldn't do the trick though. Quote
Lee-Man Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I've just got one, not had a chance to try it with a band yet. Pm me if you would like to try it:) Quote
Owen Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I had wondered about one of those in a bundle http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_mb_200_bundle.htm?sid=7d4812a2d247cff51568aee02b52918c. The specs look pretty underwhelming max SPL: 91dB, frequency response: 51Hz - 18KHz but you never know until you try it! Quote

eude Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 My mate who is setting up a new rehearsal studio near Edinburgh, is putting in these with the MB200 head for the bass rigs. At that price he's got one for each space and a spare! I know it's not going to move the earth, but it'll kick the arse off anything at a similar price I reckon. If I didn't already have my Promethean Combo, I'd be on this like and aggressive moss Eude Quote

Lee-Man Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm based near magnet studios. Tbh it's not built great, the grill has got a small resonant freq rattle at A#, should be able to sort it with a rubber grommet. Compaired to my aguilar cabs its not amazing, but it's a 10th of the price it shouldn't be. Quote

Lee-Man Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I got mine as part of the thomann deal. I just wanted some cheap and light for my kala ubass, just to use as a monitor really. Also the added bonus of using it at jam nights where I wouldn't worry about it or care who used it. Gigged it tonight and was quite impressed all things considered. Quote

Monckyman Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 "Quite impressed all things considered"! Come on man, you can supply a few more details surely. Why impressed? What things did you consider before becoming impressed? Give it up.. Quote
